Rodriguez made a statement via an email from Joe Gonzales, marketing director for Global Spectrum, which books most of the events at the venue.

Rodriguez’s statement noted the no-show was an oddity and he is workiing to reschedule the performance.

“In my entire career, I can only remember missing three shows and it is something that I do not take lightly. Once was when my dad passed, the second was at the Air Force Academy and the airport in Albany was closed.

“This time it was just a perfect storm of misfortune. I missed my 6 a.m. flight and I was unable to get on another flight out of Vegas to Denver that day as hard as I tried.”

Rodriguez said he spent the day at the airport trying to get another flight, futilely offering passengers money for their seats and deciding against a car rental after realizing the travel time was too long.

He added he looks forward “to making it up to my fans in Pueblo . . . My fans are very important to me and I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.”
